Naturalization

The United States is a nation of immigrants and throughout it’s history, foreign citizens have come to the U.S. seeking a better way of life. Such immigrants have undoubtedly strengthened the country.

There are many benefits to citizenship in the United States including but not limited to:

  • Voting
  • Bringing family members to the United States
  • Obtaining citizenship for children abroad
  • Traveling with a U.S. passport
  • Eligibility for federal jobs
  • Running for elected offices

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national once the requirement laid out in the Immigration and Nationality Act are met.

You may qualify for naturalization if:

  • You have been a permanent resident for 5 years and meet all other eligibility requirements.
  • You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen.
  • You have qualifying service in the U.S. armed forces and meet all other eligibility requirements.
